Trump spews hate — yet offers no solutions — for immigration problem

Donald Trump is running for president. His platform is to blame illegal immigrants for the problems in this country. This is an old ploy in politics: direct hate at a group of people so voters don’t realize that you really have no constructive ideas to offer.

I don’t believe in illegal immigration, but I understand these people are not all criminals and rapists. Seems we have plenty of mass murders, rapists and criminals of our own. People have always come to the U.S. for jobs and better lives. No jobs equals no immigrants legal or otherwise.

This is the question I pose to Mr. Trump: How many of the people who now work and have worked in your hotels and casinos are illegal immigrants?

So Mr. Trump, what is your answer?
